What gun is that?
 

I've posted this picture on several forums I belong to, and all I get are interesting comments about abdul with the serious nerve damage... but what gun is this? It looks like John Mose Browning, Paul Von Mauser, and Pietro Antonio Beretta got together one night and made this one up.

Glen,

My guess would be a Pakistani bastardized copy of a Astra 900. Uncle Festus looks like he's happy with it.

There are unbelievable weapons merchants in the Afganistan-Pakistan mountain villages that have huge caches of almost every weapon imaginable. They also have "gunsmiths" that can, with the most primitive tools and patience, fabricate copies or combination of systems from crude materials...and the most amazing thing is they actually work. If you find a totally bizarre weapon, chances are it was hand made in the Khyber Pass area.

I would not want to meet him on an airplane.

And it has a neato Chicom folding stock too!

A few years ago on TV they had a piece on some Afganistan village gunsmith cranking out hand made C96's. I was impressed.

Do ya think he closes his right eye when he aims?

There ought to be some way to harness that talent and turn it into say; imported replicas of 1902 Colt autos or early S&W breaktops, or whatever one might want.

got a reply on another forum, that is a copy of a CZ Skorpion.
